Today's Agenda

  1. Warm-Up (See above)
  2. Due to the performances scheduled for this week, Tuesday & Thursday are likely to be "all major days." Plan accordingly so you aren't wasting time in here.
  3. Students on YouTube, Spotify, Google Image Search, etc. will have one sentence to explain why what they're doing relates to their Media Arts grade. If I am unconvinced, your parents will likely be contacted. If this is repeat behavior, expect something worse.
  4. Critiques
    1. The work (or lack thereof) submitted yesterday makes me doubt that most of you are taking the critique process seriously. Today's Warm-Up is where you tell me what you want.
    2. Scoring every video as 20/20 does not convince me that you want to take the critiques seriously.
      1. Scoring videos you've NEVER SEEN is doubly troubling.
    3. Scoring videos but refusing to add comments is a waste of your time and mine.
    4. Completing all of your critiques before 3:10 when it takes longer than that to watch the videos tells me you don't have any respect for your classmates.
